The founder Champions Royal Assembly, Joshua Iginla has said that someone crazier than the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu will emerge soon. According to Iginla “God said to me that PDP and APC will keep having rotational circles until 2029 when a generation of the kind of leaders that we are looking for spring forth.

Nyesom Wike of Rivers said recently that there was an designed plan to create the impression that Rivers was not safe through the promotion of targeted cult related killings. “The security agencies have the profiles of all cult kingpins in different parts of the state and they know their locations, there is no wisdom in the politicization of security. ‘’Insecurity can affect anybody, you can never know the next victim of insecurity,’’ the governor stated. “In every system, the security agencies know the flashpoints, here we requested for the strengthening of security around these flashpoints, especially areas with high prevalence…
Mr Paul Ibe, the Media Adviser to the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has debunked an allegation that Abubakar was the chief financier of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria. Ibe said it was disheartening that in this period of intense grief in Benue State, Chief Paul Unongo would choose to level false allegations on the person of Abubakar. Ibe said while Abubakar was proud to be Fulani, he is a thoroughly detribalized Nigerian that would never favour one ethnic group over another. “This is fitting for a man whose Tiv traditional title means ‘the biggest shade of the…

The thing is with the cup, you can never be too sure. “The magic of the cup has been proven so many times and…
Antonio Conte has called Jose Mourinho a “little man” with a “very low profile” and a “fake” as he continued his extraordinary public war of words with the Manchester United manager after Chelsea were held to a goalless draw by Norwich City in the FA Cup on Saturday. After already calling Mourinho “a little, little man” in his postgame TV interview, Conte explained in his news conference: “I think when there are these types of comments, before [making them] you have to know very well the truth. “The truth is that I was banned for four months from the sporting…
Pep Guardiola says Manchester City must match Manchester United and Liverpool by winning trophies in order to become one of the game’s giants — and sparkling football is not enough. “A win helps to win more, then we are there, going to go to London to play the final,” said the City manager. “It’s important (to win trophies). To become a big club like the teams I have faced, or teams like (Manchester) United or Liverpool, with a really big history, you have to win. “Nobody can take away what we have lifted so far — the pleasures from this…

He is happy to play with this team. “We are trying to develop good play on the floor and he likes this. He has good results with assists and goals in recent games.” Meanwhile,…
Harry Kane has said he will be glad at Tottenham Hotspur as long as they keep progressing, but added that it is pointless for clubs to keep players against their will. Asked what Spurs needed to do to keep him, Kane said: “I’ve always said just keep progressing, keep getting better. We want to start winning trophies — that’s the aim. As long as the club keeps doing that, then I’m happy here.” Questioned about whether clubs were powerless to stop players from leaving, he said: “If a player wants to go, then why would you stop him? “He’s not…
Jose Mourinho wasted no minutes in replying criticism from Antonio Conte, reminding the Chelsea manager he was previously accused in a match-fixing scandal. Conte earlier on Friday said that a certain manager was showing signs of “senile dementia” in forgetting incidents of high emotion in his own past, the Manchester United boss made his feelings on the matter known. Asked whether he wanted to respond to Conte’s jab, Mourinho told a news conference: “I don’t blame him. Honestly. I don’t blame him, I think the press should apologise to me and him. “Because the question that comes to him is…
Zinedine Zidane has said he does not want to sign new players this month, instead urging his current squad to return to their best form now that they have “no room left for error” this season. He said that he would not be looking to the market for a quick fix. “As we all know, until Jan. 31, someone can come in — this is the market — but I do not want anyone as I am happy with my squad,” Zidane said. “I remember last year there were no problems like this, as Madrid was doing well, playing well,…
Diego Simeone has said he could not dispute with the decision to show Diego Costa a second yellow card for celebrating a goal with the fans in Saturday’s 2-0 win at home to Getafe but added that the striker had “transmitted fear” on his first La Liga game since returning to the club. Simeone told reporters that Costa had got carried away after spending so long on the sidelines before his registration this month. “After being six months out [Costa] scores a goal and wants to celebrate with the fans,” Simeone said. “The referee cannot think about the emotional part…
Jose Mourinho has revealed he apologised to Henrikh Mkhitaryan after substituting the midfielder at half-time during the FA Cup victory over Derby County. Mkhitaryan, 28, was handed just his second start in two months against the Championship side at Old Trafford on Friday. However, Mourinho said afterwards his decision had been “unfair.” He told a news conference: “I didn’t like what I did, unfair, he didn’t deserve. “He was playing well, he was not playing bad, he had a couple of mis-possessions, but he was giving a good dynamic to the team and my feeling was that [Marcus] Rashford is…
Mauricio Pochettino confirmed that he will make changes for Tottenham’s “magic” FA Cup tie against Wimbledon on Sunday. “We need to assess the players,” said Pochettino. “A lot of players played 90 minutes against Swansea and again tonight [a 1-1 draw with West Ham]. We have three days to recover but it is tough for some players to play again. We will make some changes.” “The FA Cup is special, a special game and special competition,” he said. “They are in League One, but they will be tough to play against. When we played Wycombe [in last season’s competition], it…

Reekado Banks has picked up where he left off in 2017. He started 2018 on a high note by dropping the visuals to his previously released single – ‘Like’ featuring raving Mavin Records first lady – Tiwa Savage and Guitarist – Fiokee.
Lil Wayne closed out 2017 with a bang. After previously releasing a slew of freestyles throughout December, he dropped Dedication 6 on Christmas, a much-appreciated gift for his fans. Still beleaguered by label woes which are holding up his long-awaited Carter 5 album, Wayne didn’t bother throwing potential singles at the wall, he went back to the freestyle format that first ascended him into rap superstardom — and showed that he still has it. It’s fitting that with the dozens of freestyles on the project (and more to come), Lil Wayne, a champion of wordplay, was able to achieve a…
A mere 24 hours after a fabricated story leaked about how Rihanna’s boyfriend Hassan Jameel is “not a fan” of Chris Brown, the same untrustworthy site has made up another tale about how the rapper, in turn, feels the Saudi businessman “isn’t good enough for her.” Much like the first manufactured article, We have learned the outlet has again concocted another phony report, with bogus details about how Brown supposedly feels about the rumors Rihanna’s engaged to Jameel. We’re told no one “close” to Brown shared anything like that with the blog, which has been exposed on several occasions for…
Kim and Khloé Kardashian are known to fight here and there — but on Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, they took it to a whole new level. The argument first sparked during a discussion between Khloé, Kim and Kourtney. Khloé, 33, brought up the “craziest” videos that she had seen of a drunken girls’ night in which one of their friends was allegedly caught pleasuring herself on camera. Kim, 37, insisted that it hadn’t happened — even though she wasn’t actually present for the alleged act, and had already gone to sleep. “Weren’t you asleep that night?…
